I just wanted to share my steps for building MariaDB 5.3 on
Windows. (Note, this is not much different than the instructions
Wlad posted here).

But, things are not always so smooth, and of course I ran into a
couple small issues, so I wanted to share my outputs plus those
issues and their solutions (once again many thanks go to Wlad!)
for those out there who might encounter the same.
